“I vividly remember being uncomfortable with the title of George’s prison program “Winners and Losers” that you’ll read about in this book. I worried that in our speaking engagements, he would be identified as a loser and I would be identified as a winner. I knew that was far from the truth because I was very well acquainted with my own sin. Yet, the sparkle of forgiveness and freedom he had from our Lord Jesus Christ was brighter than the crown I wore as Miss North Carolina. Clearly George was a winner, and I was a loser. Years later, after experiencing heartbreak of my own, I came to Christ and asked for the crown of new life. I was set free and became a winner, just like George. May all who read his story receive their crown and take their place in the royal family of God.”
